SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
B. 1
COMPATIBILITY OF COMPONENTS:
The N610LY, N630LY rope grabs are designed for use with approved components and
subsystems only. Substitutions or replacements made with non-approved components or subsystems may affect
jeopardize compatibility of equipment and safety, thereby affecting the safety of the entire system. The N610LY and
N630LY rope grabs are CSA Z259.2.5 approved when used with the following synthetic lifelines:
16mm MCM Superline Rope (from MCM Ropes & Rigging)
57-316 16mm Rope (from Cancord)
B. 2
COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS:
Fall Protection connectors (i.e. Hooks, Carabiners, D-rings) are compatible with
connecting elements when they have been designed to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not
cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open.
Connectors must be capable of supporting at least
23kN
(5,000 lbs.) and must be compatible with the connecting
anchorage or other system components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible, since non-compatible connectors
may unintentionally disengage. (See Figure 4.) In order to be compatible, connectors must be compatible in size, shape,
and strength. If the a connector is attached to an system / anchoring component that is undersized or irregular in shape,
during use or a fall situation, force may be applied to the gate of the connector causing the gate to open and the
connector to potentially disengage from the system / anchoring component.

B. 3
MAKING CONNECTIONS:
Use only Yoke supplied, integrally attached shock absorbing lanyard with double, self-locking
connector. Ensure compatibility (size, shape, strength) of connectors used and ensure all connectors are fully closed and
locked.
